Desired Results
Co-Teaching: List the co-teaching style you’ll be using and why you have chosen this co-teaching method.
-Teaming is the main method we have chosen because it is important to students to hear the skills from both instructors. We also both have our strengths within teaching different skills.
-One teaching and one assisting will also be incorporated into this lesson because as students are being instructed by one teacher the other will go around to help with individual work.
Learning Objective: Key Understanding(s) you intend students to obtain:
- Why it is important to use proper form when throwing and catching the football.
- Why it is important to use proper form when kicking and punting the football.
Assessment Evidence
What do you want your students to know? - How to hold the football properly in preparation for punting. - That in order to be in an athletic stance you need to bend knees, legs spread apart, back straight, on the balls of your feet, head up, hands in front of body.
- In order to punt a football you need to:
1. Receive the ball in an athletic stance, hold the ball laces up.
2. Take on step with opposite foot for preparation and power, swing kicking leg/foot toward football as the ball is releasing from their hand.
3. Make contact with their foot to the football in a less than horizontal position.
4. Follow leg through just like when throwing.
-In order to kick a football you need to:
1. Place football on tee or have a holder with laces out and the football sitting on its ends.
2. Take 3 steps back from ball and one to the side of your opposite kicking foot.
3. To start sequence step up to football first with kicking foot then opposite.
4. Contact the football in the middle to low, center portion of the ball.
5. Follow leg through just like when throwing.
-In order to throw a proper spiral like a quarter back, 2-3 fingers need to be in the laces toward the back of the ball; the ball is placed next to their ear, with a high elbow, stepping with their opposite foot and shifting their weight from the back foot to their front foot; following through to their opposite hip. Make sure the ball is going off of their fingertips.
- To catch a pass properly like a wide receiver by using their hands and more specifically fingertips.
What do you want students to be able to do?
- Hold the football with their fingers spread, fingertips in the laces, thumb underneath the football.
- Throw and catch a football with correct techniques.
- Demonstrate an athletic stance.
- Punt a football using proper form.
- Kick a football using proper form.
Group Accountability (Formative Evaluation) How will you check to see whether your class has met your learning objectives?
- Person to person observation
- Demonstrate abilities to class
- Review at end of class period each student has to answer a question about critical element steps for kicking and punting a football.
Individual Accountability (Summative Evaluation)
Learning Plan
What key vocabulary/language will students need to know to meet the learning objective? - Kicker - Punter - Quarter back - Wide receiver
- Laces
- Athletic stance
How will you teach this key vocabulary to enable students to meet the learning objective?
Key vocabulary will be used in instruction, then through demonstration and feedback from students. When describing differences between kicking and punting make them very clear. Kicking is not the term used when you hold and “kick” the ball. It is called punting.
What is/are the Essential/Guiding Question(s) for this Lesson? (It should correlate to your learning objective.)
-How can you use what you learn today about flag football/sports/athletics in other aspects of your life?
-Why is it important to learn to properly kick and punt a football?
Method/Strategy (What will you do? What do you expect students to do? Include set induction and closing.)
